Emblem assured
Attachment 110040
I noticed by playing with 3 different accounts that today defending teams are much more difficult to beat. The devs must have increased their defensive bonus
It says in the rules that an automatic defence bonus is applied to the defending team.Quote:

Personally for me first day of the challenge was also the hardest. Lately it got easier, maybe also because the others gave up in meanwhile or show a little less interest.Quote:

I think the reason I manage to cruise through the challenge is that my players’ white skills are higher than usual. But still the whole thing has taken way too much time and effort and I will probably skip the last couple days.
Yesterday I had three games go to penalties, I only won the third one so up to then it was quite frustrating. Lots of games I'm 2-0 up and lose 3-2 or 4-2, which almost never occurs in the usual game format. Unrealistic.
I'm fighting another team for second overall, the team in first wins 8 or 9 cups every day, although their quality is less than 4 other teams. Their league is 5 leagues higher than most other players, I know this isn't supposed to matter so why are they unbeatable? They have no truly outstanding player, mostly 5 or six stars, but cannot be beaten in this competition - probably a bot so no-one can win the top prize player. Fixed.
There's a team which is tanking, I always win but only by a goal or two which is dumb.
So this game is unrealistic, fixed, and dumb. I will still play the games but I don't even watch them anymore, I start it off then log out lol.
5 trophies already and 4 more free attempts today, if I get 6 or 7 I would be more then happy!

congrats for KotBS Emblem :rolleyes:

The oppo had the point 1st. 24 mins before the time line I ogo to face him, won 2-3. Then he face me, 9 for him, 8 for me at 30'seconds ... and I go for a last chance. 1-2 and we are +3 trophies of distance.
I played with starting orders with the idea that the simulator would make them not work, so I created intentional weakness to guide the simulator there in the starting scenario with the idea to switch orders once the match started and worked again vs that team.
:3
DR moved as central DC to cover the STs and amc.... defensive to normal mentality. advanced MCs (left and middle one +amc) and switched the left aml to the extreme left side and the amr one step back to the centre.
Just follow the bar then and animation to know what fails... was so tought really.

Got absolutely trolled.
Won 8 trophies to bring me level with the other top player on 41 and I was 7 goals ahead of him in the weekly standings.i should have just not played him and gone into the last day ahead but decided to grab that 9th of the day.
He beat me 4-0 with 4 shots on target to my 7!!
I thought what the hell and payed 2 tokens to play him again and he beats me 4-0 with 5 shots on target to my 8 this time.
So I go into the final day level on trophies and 1 goal behind instead of 7 in front!!!
Same thing happened to me with games getting tougher the last few days.
The association tournament could have something to do with that also since several managers only properly prepare their teams on the weekend.
Finally manage to get 8 tropy yesterday... This event is actually good... If u cant make it, u gotta learn how to deal with each oppo formation differently... I manage to know how to beat 8 of my oppo, everytime i use same strategy, i won... Only 1 i cant defeat since day 1... I just cant figure out how... He is 10% weaker...
3 points away from the emblem... Im on top, but will let it slip to second spot... I prefer 50 token than 8* player... I want to commit to use same exact 11 player till all retired
Gotta agree with PricopGeorgeCătălin... This event is a hit, lot better than previous events...
I do spend token because of curiosity... Somethin i rarely do on previous ones... But got the token back anyway, so it is all good
Too many cry babies here .lol
I ve noticed tactics work , patience is also key.
Also my opponents were winning against my team a lot until I changed my tactics for the times they challenge. I change my tactics when my matches start now and it's got me more success in defending trophies.
Secured emblem and secured second place.not interested in the 8* player and beat the 50+ player a few times .am making sure he's always at least one trophy ahead so I don't get first place.
😊😊😊
Just got trophy #40 (assuming I don't lose a defensive battle).
I started out unbeaten in my first 14 as a 30%+ underdog (2 defeats on pk's but I count them as draws). Had not lost to anyone outside the top 4 in standings in the first four days.
Then on day 5 the difficulty level got ramped up. It started w/ a 1-3 loss against a tanker using a tanker formation (7-2 (dmc) - 1 (ml)). I was 24-0-0 against the bottom 6 before that loss. Sunday I had 4 losses in 4 games against the 139.2% team (2-2 4:5 pk's, 2-3; 0-1; 0-1). Day 7 it took 3 attempts @ trophy #40 to win. Twice i attacked the 141.1% team (I'm 112.1%). I lost 0-2 and 2-2 (4:5 pk's). Conceded equalizer @ 83' via penalty and a double yellow. Lost PK shootout because my best player w/ 338% Finishing missed from the spot. This 141.1% team is a bottom 6 guy. 139.2% team is bottom 6 also but used tanker formation for abit.
Last game I challenged the 127.6% team. Won 1-0 with an 84' winner. I had one player below a 7.5 match rating.
This game earned my boys trophy #40.
I think nordeus ramped up the difficulty level in hopes managers buy tokens to complete the event.
First 37 trophies won (8 total losses)
Last 3 trophies won (6 total losses)
39 Trophies on 2 accounts so I will probably win first place and the emblem on both.
yes amazingly, for once i finally notice tactic does take place...Quote:

Mission accomplished.

Went to sleep with 3 trophies, woke up with 1. Back to 3 now but is quite fragile as I have exactly 40, I need 1 or 2 more just in case.
Seems like I will be winning the top spot in my group. My team is the 3rd best team, and luckily the top player is not very active - he/she has 16 trophies total trophies so far. I'm 4 trophies ahead at the start of the final day to 2nd place despite having a weaker team.
However, I can agree with some of the posts here. I'm losing to teams 20% weaker than mine. The bonus for the defending team is more than expected. These "weaker" teams somehow have more possession, more shots due to this bonus? Of course I have adjusted tactics and use the 10% training bonuses, but still they are way too powerful.
change tactics LOLQuote:

But before that kudos to Nordeus who still bring fresh air to this stale gameplay of league this season. Also congrats on the manager who “working” in this event. Why working? Because I feel it like that, this event the more I do it, the more it’s not fun.
TL.DR
Mostly caused by the time for a challenge, 2-hour window back to back for this is just simply not a good system queue.
--------------------
waiting for the next 2 hour that you probably missed anyway and be piss cause you need that time. then fail to stay in competition
*but there is a token to fix it! I see what you doing there :p
I assume this is a way to encourage the player to use their token to skip them? That simply does not work because 80% manager did not even participate in the first place, most of them already seeing they can’t compete with this kind of system of timing. it just not worth the stress they do it.
I see a manager who challenges my team get beaten 3-0. This manager challenges me when I sitting on the top leaderboard, got like 3 trophies at that time also my team above average in this matchup. and That the only match, he plays that day. He must be piss, get on the stress level his team demoralize on the first match and put it to worst case scenario he also needs to wait another 2 hours knowing he would be just lost again. I never saw him do a challenge ever again after that. Bad decision on that manager also play the part but
The major thing is 80% manager barely play the event, (only 2/3 of 9 managers I see doing the event, the rest barely play or not play at all ) so 20% active player monetization over this 2-hour timer is worth the stress you give to your player base?
Assuming a player did use that skip token, That when they see this just tiring after a while (after so many must skip, the token used not worth the reward we got) we stop play it cause burnout does not attract a player to keep playing especially even without the skip can be just fine. But this 2 hour keep asking so much to press and not a time relevant
While for an active manager the minimal effort is what they need to do because 80% other barely play it make no competition. So not much skip time needed = less monetization from this. In the end, this is just become annoying stuff & have no benefit except ruin the fun for this event.
In the end, Do you guys promote too easy win is fun? those managers who manipulating their league draw maybe think so
SOLUTION :
My solution to this is changing it to every time manager start a match it accumulates time instead on their loading bar. Similar to how condition bar work but reverse it. This bar's gain time instead of losing them. So more manager can do the event with their spare time without the need to wait another 2 hours just to play it again, encourage other casual managers to take on part in this event
You playing a game after all not working on a game every 2 hours.
example: first match, manager gain 2 hours on their loading bar with a limit of 8 hours. So a manager in one sit can challenge other from 1 to 4 times then wait for 8 hours they accumulate to run down to 6 hours or less to challenge again
Why 8 hour? People need sleep, work, doing other stuff, etc. this 8 hour giving enough buffer time window for manager doing what they do best, manage the hour.
this also more friendly toward that free user who got a little token to spend
Or maybe make the limit to 12 hours so we just need log in two times a day and play it more conveniently
Need sleep next 7 hours? Go for 4 times match and still got the trophy on the event and stay competitive, need to catch up with that good manager? Yes, give the dev their humble bundle of a token, stay on this challenge without getting timer up on the back of your mind when you hit that limit. The token you have given is worth the fun as long it is not out weight the reward.
also, make when on weekend the challenge free with no timer that would be a twist the participant in the event more engaging since a weekend is a time to play for a majority of a player
please take this a salty feedback with a grain of salt *pun not intended :rolleyes:
also if anyone wants to add a few on this just reply below, I am curious what you guys take on this event
no thanks Devz$$$Makers$$$ :rolleyes:Quote:

Would love to see the games/challanges after the day ends. IT is simply dull that I can’t follow up what happened.
I got the first place and there where 6 managers active. I think that so many games in one day is tireing but can be fun. What I think is bad is that there Are managers with 50% playing against me. IT must be very sad 6 days for them. This should be Done better.
And thats what one should see as notifications. Cool that player, 22 years 144%

Well I don't think I've ever had as close a one as that in all my time playing this.
Going into today we were level on 37 but I was well behind on goal difference. I lost 4 games today and thought it was all over, bought back in twice and finally with 15 mins to go tonight I was on 7 and the other guy was on 9 with me still to challenge him
Thought why not, at least win and save some pride, and I won 3-1.
Realised there was 45 seconds till the end of the tournament, I was 8-8 on the day and 45 all overall, but losing on GD, and I still had another opponent there if I bought in for 6 tokens.
Started that game with 30 seconds left and won it 2-0!!!!
The other guy must be wondering how he lost as he had won the thing as the tournament finished on screen, he'll be smashing his computer up right now probably....sorry m8!!
